Mush Cake

Not a particularly attractive name, but a fairly accurate description of its main ingredient. This is a use for the mushy pulp left over from using a juicer. Try carrot, orange and ginger.

Ingredients

200 g light muscavado sugar
300 ml sunflower oil
5 eggs
450 g plain flour
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cinnamon
approx 300 g juicer pulp (any large, non-pulped lumps removed)
A splash of juice

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 150° C.
  2. Beat the sugar and oil together, then add the eggs one at a time.
  3. Add the flour, bicarb and cinnamon, then fold in the pulp. Add some of the juice you have made.
  4. Bake:
    • in muffin cases for about 20 mins.
    • in a loose-bottomed tin for 40-50 mins. Baked this way, this cake may well need emergency cake saving.
